Optional acitivies
• Snorkeling tour •
On board a dhow boat, visit the open-water reefs in Pungume Menai Bay. You'll marvel at the huge coral garden in the southern part of Zanzibar, and see the best snorkeling spots in the south, each with its own special features: turtles, corals and shoals of colorful tropical fish, all a real treat for admirers of the underwater world. Since it's an open reef, you should be a good swimmer for this trip and familiarise yourself with the snorkeling equipment. Departure times depend on the tides. Snorkeling equipment and soft drinks are included.
• Dolphin-watching tour •
The most popular spot for dolphin-watching in Zanzibar is the village of Kizimkazi, on the south coast of the island of Zanzibar, where you can spot both bottle-nosed and humpback dolphins. The shallow coastal waters around Kizimkazi are a popular meeting place for dolphins who come here to eat, suckle their calves, or rest. A dolphin tour is best done very early in the morning, as by afternoon the sea-water tends to be warm and dolphins often dive to escape the heat. Please note that dolphin sightings are natural phenomena and cannot be guaranteed. Snorkelling equipment and soft drinks are included.
• Boat tour to sandbar with snorkeling •
This trip is specially designed for families, friends or couples who want to enjoy a day full of privacy. During the one-hour ride on the dhow boat, you'll stop at one of the best snorkeling spots south of the island before you drive to the main destination, a sandbar. An idyllic seafood barbecue also takes place here while you let your eyes wander and enjoy this unique experience to the fullest. Please note that you must reserve the excursion at the hotel in advance and bring good sun protection and a hat. Snorkeling equipment, drinks, a seafood barbecue and fruit are included.
• Sunset cruise on dhow boat •
Set out on a traditional Zanzibar dhow boat, a sturdy sailing vessel, and cruise along the coast to see mangroves and villages towards the sunset. A ride on the warm waters of the Indian Ocean is one of many great experiences you'll remember for a lifetime. Watch the sky change color and be amazed by its flawless reflection on the calm waters. Soft drinks, wines and delicious snacks are included.
